Waiting to hear back from my surgeons office regarding migraines. I rarely get them and in the past excedrin would do the trick but now with wls, I am afraid to use the excedrin due to the aspirin.
So what are some non nsaid treatments for migraine pain. Feeling awful, cant stand the light, and the nausea is terrible.
Thank goodness I am off today.

Thanks!

Feurocet...it works great. Don't take too many or you will get rebound headache. I don't get migraine very often, but when I do, that's what I use and was told it's fine post op.

I used to take Axert 12.5 mg. It got so very expensive and the insurance company started giving me a hard time (even though I had not had a migraime in over a year).

My PCP recently put me on Maxalt-MLT 10 mg and it works like a dream. It dissolves under the tongue. I started with some samples and when they helped, he gave me an Rx.

Hope you start feeling better soon.
